Probably because of centralised, opaque data storage used by most of those, migration was difficult, and led to losing much of everybody’s archived work. Frankly, I just do not have the heart to lose other work like that anymore.

Writing a single page can take several days of work. I feel we do not have much time left, and certainly no time left to waste in complicated machinery that, for the sake of superficial «easy», makes it really difficult to preserve the results of our service.

Let us not forget we were asked for simplicity, never for easyness.

Because of that, I started keeping my work and notes in local org-syntax files. I do trust simple text-only files, managed offline and synchronised to any other place via various tools (for example syncthing).

Some of those I am currently publishing on this site, but in the future they will be hosted in proper places, depending on the project (see Emacs page for the tool I am using).

I am glad I started doing that.

Now I feel I can finally be confident of the safety and preservation of the material we write. We can distribute its various branches to different places, keep a repository, and, above all, the barrier to writing has basically disappeared.
